Well we woke up to a dreary day, Autumn has definitely settled in and we had our first fire of the season. Samuel turned 8 and was very excited. All the usual things, we opened presents, made cupcakes for school, sang happy birthday and had pizza for supper. He had a great day I think.

Things haven't been sailing very smoothly lately. Samuel has meltdowns daily and they seem to be increasing, I think due to frustration mainly. It seems his capacity to explain things is very much diminished and so he just flies into a rage instead of letting us help him with the speech side of things. We have now been threatened with the CLIS if he does not make a massive improvement and start to read by December. The CLIS is for handicapped children who cannot function in a normal school class situation. It is a class in a regular school but with dedicated teachers to help the kids battling. Only thing is once you are in that school system you don't get out resulting in no chance of university, college etc. So maybe he is seeing our stress and reacting to that I don't know. Right now he sees a Psychiatrist, a Psychologist, a speech therapist and an exchange French teacher weekly then there's Jujitsu and Soccer. If he doesn't fall over it will be a miracle. He's fantastic really but Manu and I feel like we have run into a brick wall. ANYWAY.
My brother sent all the paraphernalia so we are all geared to go.
